The UN has recognised August 11th as World Steel Pan Day and pan has taken over this episode. We take in some of the classic panorama winning selections over the years.

Join us as we pay homage to legendary figures in pan music, like Lord Kitchener, Sparrow, David Rudder and dive into their immense contribution to this art form. We also share how pan compositions have shaped modern pan music and take a look at some of the new pan arrangers and composers for pan.

Navigate with us through the cultural impact of music, particularly its power as a tool for unity. Expect insightful discussions on resilience and perseverance embodied in pan music, and its potential as a narrative for social commentary. 

Of course we also get into a bit of the politics as election results streamed in while recording and it looks like more of the same from the usual suspects.
